Instead of setting the trap and then moving to the next one, a half inch away, try setting a trap and sliding it out of the way from the others first. That way you don't accidentally trip the first one and get injured. And may us think you are an idiot.

I baited the trap with ripe avacados ( because I’m in California) , dry cat food and sunflower seeds. The first 2 nights I knew the rat was going partially into the trap because the bait just outside the trap was gone. The third night we got that rat. It was a 3 month battle with 7 other types of traps. My husband even stayed up all night with a air rifle. This was one smart rat. It lived in the kitchen and would eat our fruit. Yuck!

Here's why this is so brilliant. It appears from this video and others by Frederick is that he's trapping the mice the "other way". That is, if you notice the mice's head, it's facing away from the normal entry path. That is, it's being smash after first crossing over the kill bar. What appears to make this so effective is that you can bait the hell out of this arrangement. The trigger pad is just a springboard to get to the bait. The rodent is going to put all his weight on the trigger pad to get past the trap to the bait. Frederick as totally reinvented how the normal mousetrap is supposed to work!

Love the music! I set a Tomcat rat trap outdoors, and placed landscaping bricks around it so that a cat wouldn’t get into it and get snapped in the face. The landscape brick structure was L-shaped so the rat had to go into the tunnel and turn right and then about six more inches to where the trap was. The next day, I went out there and the trap was outside the enclosed brick structure and a couple feet away from where I set it. Something got in there and pulled the trap out (which was also attached to a brick), and dragged it out. The trap was triggered, but there was nothing in it anymore. It’s a mystery as to what happened. I didn’t have that music playing, either! 😂

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the music. Without some motion activated cameras you're often left guessing. BUT, raccoons often reach way into a trap with their long curious hands and feet. That would be high on my list as they are incredibly strong.

After using glue traps, I was broken hearted to see how cruel they were. So I got a live catch one. 1 mouse. Then a larger trap. Most got away, but I caught 1 and bought a nice pet mouse home cage to collect & keep them in, so I could let them go somewhere after I got several. The 1st time I tried to drop 1 into the mouse cage, the little bugger immediately bounced right out like it was made of rubber and rocket fuel. By then I had spent a small fortune and alot of time trying to be humane. Then I gradually discovered the damage they did to my place and everything in my storage room [and everywhere else in my home that was not immediately visible]. All my storage food ruined, with disease promoting poop and everything torn to shreds for nest building. They get into EVERYTHING whether it's food or not and destroy and leave poop, so you never want to touch it again. Got sick several times too, not absolutely sure from what though. I have a huge soft spot for animals, but now I HATE the little f_ers and feel merciless toward them - I just want them dead. We cannot live together in peace because they do nothing but destroy and contaminate every part of your living space, and I don't have much, since I live in a crappy old trailer. If they would be content to to just occupy a reasonable space, and leave me some, I might be accommodating, but they demand every square inch of your space. This is WAR.

Great trap idea. A suggestion... I have used the same mouse traps that you put in your box design. Not to uncommon for the mouse to eat the peanut butter( best mouse/rat bait ever) and run off. That plastic trigger sometimes will not release. To solve the problem, I tie a piece of cotton kitchen twine through the holes in the trigger pad and work the peanut butter into it. The mouse pulls on the twine... No more problem. Gotta go, need to make a couple of box traps.

I can relate to your deer mouse problem. My mother had a real hate realationship with the common house mouse ( the Norway rat as well) and was constanly traping them in our hundred year old farm house. She had every kind of trap sold 60 to 80 years ago, one was a 4-way and she frequently caught 3 or more in that one. One night when we were around 10 to 12 years old, my parents had gone out for the evening and left my brother and I home watching the Ed Sulivan Show, followed by Bonanza. We like to watch it in a darkened livingroom when we happen to notice that we werent watching alone. A deer mouse had stopped in front of the TV and appeared to like westerns as much as we did. The deer mice I grew up knowing was quite a bit smaller than the white-footed mouse in your video, it was a pearl grey with just it's fingers coloured white and the tip of its tail. They appear as a round ball with not much length to them. He watched for a few minutes then disappeared under my father's chair. A few minutes later, came out from under, watched a few minutes of TV, then ran into the livingroom/front door closet. 5 minutes later, he was back watching TV again, then under Dad's chair. This was repeated several times and my brother and I became enchanted with our little TV watching buddy. It dawned on us about the same time that we had to save the little guy from mom. We hatched the idea to set-up our own V-trap out of a set of Encyclopedia with a paper grocery sac as the trap. We had noticed that he seemed to spend more time in the closet we waited until he disappeared in that direction. The V was quickly set up and we caught and installed our new pet into one of moms sealers with plenty of holes punched into the lid. The next day, we released him in the spruce windbreak to the north of the house and congradulated ourselves for having saved such a cute mouse with such good taste from mom's traps. The following Sunday, we were not alone again! Now I can't be 100 percent certain that it was the very same mouse as it had no distingushing features but as this happened no less than 4 times that summer, I would have bet money on it. In later years on having recalled this 'Summer of the Mouse', I realized that the living room closet shared a wall with the kitchen pantry and Dad's chair was up against the north wall, 30 feet from the wind break. They don't usually inhabit houses and any self-respecting house mouse would have had him for breakfast. We were probably returning him to his home territory or at least next to it as subsequent releases happen farther and farther down the windbreak, and he had developed a taste for the forbidden fruit - raisins.

DEAD MOUSE or RAT... now what? This is a Quote From Victor "A mouse trapped in a Victor® mouse trap should never be touched directly. Instead, follow these directions: STEP 1 - Put on a pair of rubber gloves. STEP 2 - Spray the dead mouse and the immediate area with a disinfectant or bleach-and-water mixture. STEP 3 - Place the mouse in a plastic bag. You may save the trap for future use or throw it out as well. STEP 4 - Place any mouse-soiled objects in the bag including feces, nesting material or food. STEP 5 - Seal the bag. Do not push out the extra air from the bag, doing so may spread germs, bacteria or viruses that the mouse is carrying. STEP 6 - Place the sealed bag in another bag and seal it, too. STEP 7 - Throw the bag in the trash. STEP 8 - Wash gloved hands with soap and water or spray disinfectant on them. STEP 9 - Remove gloves and throw them into the trash. STEP 10 - Wash your hands after removing the gloves."

Wow, thanks so much for this video. I liked everything about it -- the compassion and responsibility shown, the great music, and even the difficulty in setting the trap triggers. I loved that you kept that in there, because I've had a hard time myself, and to see a "pro" spring them made me feel less like a clumsy dork. I am going to build two of these, one for mice, one for rats (I think I have only one, but I've tried other traps and just can't catch it). I think I'll add two little tweaks to your fabulous design, and that is: (1) A threaded rod with wingnuts on each end to slide across the "roof" via those two little metal holes of the bracekts that stick up (keeping the lid down instead of putting bricks or rocks on top, and (2) putting a big metal "drawer handle" on the top middle so that I can just lean down and grab it and pick the whole thing up. I really like how this trap will not harm the pretty quail that walk through my bushes, and I'm hoping that even the rat size (with the side walls no higher than necessary for spring-bar clearance...such a good point), might keep out the red fox squirrel, although...there are so many of them too that if I have to nab one of those in order to get this one rat around here, then.. so be it. Thanks again.

Thank you 🙏. I moved to a new house with my beautiful beloved three cats, all healthy and rambunctious. Within two years all dead. After each one fell ill, I took them to the veterinarian, who told me, each time, ‘’that this cat had ‘kitty leukemia’ ‘’. After finding dead squirrels, 🐿periodically, for the next three years, on the street in front of my house, I finally put two & two together. My next door neighbor had set out rat poison to kill off the squirrels that had gotten into her attic. Rats ate the poison, came over to my garden to get a drink of water, my dear cats 🐈 caught them, ate them and sadly had to be put to sleep 😢☹️

The problem is that the sneaky bastard has been cleaning the traps from the box, i caught it on night visiion camera, and its seems to be a small rat/mouse. Incredibly smart. I've never seen anything smarter than this. And now Its been a couple of months and i'm almost giving up. Tried everything, except poison, because i dont want to use it. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I'd put out several at once, they never miss. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4VmzJZvlrO9gdI.html Here is another live trap that is metal and super sensitive: Any vibration will set this one off kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYGIqKaqkqrOgNY.html

Nice views of the REAL damage created by these little annoying creatures. Thanks, I got to see this one because you posted the link in the new build video.

Thank you so much! When a single rat shows up, I go to general quarters! They are really that bad.

Thanks for the video, I just would have liked the measurements for your boxes. It would take the guesswork out. I liked the music too.

Thanks, the boxes should be constructed based on the trap sizes you are using. The width of the wooden base of the trap dictates the interior width of the box. The arc of swing of the trap arm dictates the side wall height, making sure it's just a little taller inside than the snap bar will reach. I'd buy the traps first, then gauge from them. There are lots of trap designs out there, so the box dimensions are variable. Thanks for watching and commenting!

OMG, that was intense... :O

Interesting idea... fantastic music!

The fucking drama... you deserve an Oscar lol....

It's always raining in those death scenes, amirite.

I don't do live traps with mice and rats. They invade my home it's the Castle Doctrine for them.

When it comes to rats, I'm not playing any games either! They do too much damage too fast! They are so soooo smart that I pull out all the stops and leave them no options. I'm happy to say that I have no mice or rats these days, at least, not inside.

I'm finding the plastic traps can have more power in the spring but I can't set them on a hair trigger.

Love the music.

Mr. Dunn, excellent idea (traps inside a container). Thank you for making and posting this video. (Lots of attractant in there, ¿no?). Thanks.

to date, still my best method. Works in the garden and inside chicken coops. The sunflower seeds work fine alone. I have a new design so the traps can't leave the box. I should probably do another how-to video just on the new boxes.

What size lumber did you use on the rat box side walls? Looks like 1"x4"s maybe? I made 2 of these last year and they work so so so well for a chipmunk issue I have, they don't stop killing em! But occasionally the kill bar gets stuck on the lid if I weight it down and if I don't the squirrels can get to it easier. Thanks for the awesome trap!
